It's College Savings Month in Indiana! We are grateful that Governor Mike Braun has issued the following Proclamation marking September as College Savings Month in Indiana:
WHEREAS, Indiana is a beacon of opportunity, where higher education and career training, hard work, and entrepreneurship are encouraged; and
WHEREAS, the expanded flexibility of 529 qualified expenses include: registered apprenticeships, credentialing expenses, technical and trade schools, 2- and 4- year colleges and universities and beyond - allowing each Hoosier to choose the best path for their future; and
WHEREAS, student loan debt is a significant burden for our citizens who pay for education and training long after it is completed and that saving early and often in an Indiana529 Savings Plan is an effective method of decreasing the need for this debt; and
WHEREAS, the State of Indiana’s generous tax credit for contributions to an Indiana529 Savings Plan, coupled with tax-deferred growth and tax-free qualified distributions, has encouraged families to save more than $9 billion for future education and career training; and
WHEREAS, National College Savings Month serves as a symbolic reminder of the importance of investing for the future in an Indiana529 Savings Plan, relying less on student loans, and achieving a higher quality of life through hard work and the Hoosier spirit;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mike Braun, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby proclaim September 2026 as
COLLEGE SAVINGS MONTH
in the State of Indiana, and invite all citizens to duly note this occasion.
